NAME
      labelit (generic) - provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
      labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] special
      [operands]

DESCRIPTION
      labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk file systems or
      file systems being copied to tape.

      The special name should be the disk partition (e.g., /dev/rdsk/0s3), or
      the cartridge tape (e.g., /dev/rmt/c0s0).  The device may not be on a
      remote machine. operands are FSType-specific and the manual page of the
      FSType-specific labelit command should be consulted for a detailed
      description.

      current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of
      labelit.  Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options.
      specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list
      of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the
      FSType-specific module of the command.

      The options are:

      -F        specify the FSType on which to operate.  The FSType should
                either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by
                matching special with an entry in the table.

      -V        echo complete command line. This option is used to verify and
                validate the command line. Additional information obtained via
                a /etc/vfstab lookup is included in the output. The command is
                not executed.

      -o        Specify FSType-specific options.

NOTE
      This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.

FILES
